[edit] Summary

The cover for Supernova's 1998 album 'Rox'.

[edit] Fair use rationale in Rox (album)

Though the picture is subject to copyright I, Skibz (^_^), feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
1. It is a low resolution copy of a CD album cover.
2. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD album in any way.
3. Scanned copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD.
4. It is being used for informational purposes only, not for profit.
5. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of topics in the article. For an article about an album or artist, the cover artwork is very important and adds significantly to the article.
6.It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.

[edit] Source

Derived from a digital capture (scan/photo) of the album/CD cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.

[edit] Licensing
